“I campaigned 36 hours nonstop at the end, because it’s over Nov. 4,” Mr. Coleman said. “Well that was six months ago. And it’s not over. This certainly is a surreal experience.” “I have more dinners home with my wife than I ever have before,” said Mr. Coleman. He said that every morning, he puts tefillin — black leather boxes containing scrolls — on his arm as part of a morning Jewish prayer ritual. “I bind myself every morning,” he said. “I bind myself to God every morning because it’s in his hands.” He paused. “David Letterman will make fun of me for this,” he said.” In Minnesota, a Battle Without End for a Senate Seat - NYTimes.com

Giants win in the rain & mud as season nears end

Big Pic of Ry against Skyhawks

On the Frozen Tundra

The downtown Giants wrapped up their season today in frigid conditions with an 18-8 pasting of the Yorkville Eagles. This gave the Peanuts program some hope with a respectable 4-5 outcome. Winning three out of their final 4 games, the Peantus will enter next year with a chance to compete for the conference’s perennial powers Bayside Raiders and Brooklyn Skyhakws

Kickoff temperature was 31 F, but with wind chill we were playing this bad boy in the low twenties. Joe ran an elegant reverse for the first touchdown, followed by Michael Linahan (6 or 7 toucdowns on season) bouncing a beautiful run down the left hand sideline and finally Ajay “Spike” turned in a bruising 35 yard run of his own for his first touchdown of the season.

Ry Cohen played more fullback and tight end today in an effort to let some other kids have a chane to carry the football. While discouraged about this at halftime, he rallied to throw some vicious blocks in the second half and probably had about 35 yards on 6 or 7 carries. Cohen closed out the season with 650 yards rushing in 9 games and 7 touchdowns. Both are were team highs.
